The Patrick Madrid Show: July 28, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick opens the phones to callers wrestling with Catholic parenting, tech boundaries, and choosing family-friendly shows like “The Waltons,” reflecting on the hard lessons and simple wisdom he’s gained. Listeners press him on tough issues such as guiding resistant teens in matters of faith, shifting family dynamics after conversion, and responding to Church disputes over controversial topics, especially where tradition and current culture conflict. With each exchange, Patrick moves between encouragement, practical advice, and sharp caution—challenging both assumptions and methods, whether it’s dealing with fee-charging healing ministries or understanding biblical language about the heavens.   Jenny - Have you ever considered writing a parenting book?
